Questions and Answers for Ken Thomas' "Intra-Extra Vehicular Activity Russian and Gemini Spacesuits" PresentationKenneth Thomas will discuss the Intra‐Extra Vehicular Activity Russian & Gemini spacesuits. While the United States and Russia adapted to existing launch‐ and reentry‐type suits to allow the first human ventures into the vacuum of space, there were differences in execution and capabilities. Mr. Thomas will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this approach compared to exclusively intravehicular or extra‐vehicular suit systems.
